AFP-Yonhap DeepSeek’s AI leap is a milestone innovation breakthrough for China but it does not change the overall leading position of the United States in the field of artificial intelligence, a prominent adviser to Beijing said.

DeepSeek, which is based in the eastern city of Hangzhou, stunned the world...
